Fat Mascara Jennifer Sullivan & Jessica Matlin

Actress, author, and entrepreneur Brooke Shields talks about an inherent tension in her life: She knows beauty is power and yet she struggles with that very idea. In this podcast exclusive, she discusses growing up on camera, how she wants her daughters to approach social media, our culture’s obsession with image and beauty—and Commence, her new hair line for women over 40. Yes, she’s a celebrity launching a beauty brand (and she knows exactly how that sounds), but the story behind Commence is one of the most relatable celebrity pitches we’ve heard yet.

Consider this podcast a masterclass in makeup brushes—even if you’re a makeup artist, we promise you’ll learn something new! Anisa Telwar Kaicker’s company, Anisa International, has been manufacturing brushes for top beauty brands since 1992, and its innovations in cruelty-free fibers have helped to make the industry more ethical. Anisa is also the founder of Anisa Beauty, her own line of responsibly made vegan makeup tools. In this episode, she explains the art of brush making, its cultural heritage, and all the variables that affect a brush’s performance, including the diameter and texture of the bristles, the shape of the head, the glue in the ferrule, even the length and weight of the handle.

We’re kicking off summer with Jess, who's back from her “sabbatical” to tell us about her beauty adventures with Moda Operandi and discuss the latest: Grown Alchemist bumps Kiehl’s out of Equinox gyms; fragrances of the future (will they smell like butter or body odor?); the blush boom; a listener’s discovery of GirlCult cosmetics; a solid shampoo that’s actually moisturizing enough for thick hair; and Jess’s new favorite eyebrow duo. Plus, we’re excited to announce a new contributor joining the Fat Mascara family!

Hairstylist Jawara is one of the most in-demand creatives in fashion today. He’s worked with artists like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and his longtime collaborator Solange, and created images for Off-White, Gucci, Hermès, Vogue, and i-D (he’s currently their senior beauty editor at large). We met Jawara in 2018 (when this interview originally aired) and invited him to the FM studio to discuss his career, his creative inspiration, and his recipe for the sexiest cologne on earth.
